Insult & Injury
The Axesrus Insult and Injury Humbuckers are our first real foray into the increasingly popular world of Alnico 4 Humbuckers, and they’ve yielded some very interesting results!
Bringing a similar sort of flavour to the traditional Alnico V that we use to great effect with the Hot Iron and Leadline humbuckers, but sporting a little more character in the mid range to really beef up the tone, these humbuckers are absolutely ideal for rock and blues work, when your looking to push the amp a little harder, but without losing copious amounts of the pickups character.
The pickups themselves are warm, with a pleasing fluidity in the neck, and a raunchy, biting edge in the bridge – characteristics we’d normally be looking for in a high output humbucker, but these are most to squeeze that out of a medium output is fantastic.
